Here's some notes for the rewatch:
77 had a rough game. Williams got him a couple times. Williams put Steele on his butt a couple times. I would say the interior played better over all. 70 was a stud and outside of Bass' whiff they were pretty clean.
Williams played up against our tackles for most of the game. He beat them a lot. When they tried to go after Bass with him, we ran behind Steele and the TE off tackle and on stretches, so they moved him back over our tackles.
Gilmore had a rough game. He was trailing Wilson on the TD. Bell and LVE absolutely bit on a playfake and left the middle of the field wide open. Then it seemed his gameplan was to mug people. I think he got 2 PIs.
It was good to see Lewis out there running well. He's really good in the middle of the field.
The rest of the secondary was excellent. Diggs continues to make big plays and Kearse and Hooker combined with Diggs on 3 straight drive ending picks to end the game.
Our perimeter blocking is a strength. 87, 40, 86, and 89 have all stood out in this regard. Our best runs came behind Martin and these guys. Dowdle had two outstanding blitz pickups.
They ran no playaction at all. As in zero snaps. No play fakes. Is it out of the playbook? Or is MM going CIA?
It was a lot of slants and crossing routes. Lamb was getting regular separation off of double routes off of these concepts. On early downs we ran a lot of RB sprints and outside screens to our TE and WR. We ran a lot of screens to our RB. Vaughn was by far the most successful one. Jets sniffed out a lot of them.
This is interesting because Dak got 2 TD, 255 yds, an 80% completion percentage and a 112 rating without using any play action. Historically, it's been his most productive play type.
I will also say that what Dak is doing, going from what he's known to what looked a lot like what Walsh's 49ers and Tomlin's Giants used to run, is pretty impressive. He stared down a route and nearly turned it over throwing a way late ball and he flat missed Ferg on a wide open corner route in the RZ but he was on time and on target for most of his 38 passes.
Mazi played in the first half when the Jets were still running the ball. He played a lot with Hankins, 97, and 99. He is strong, moves well, and can get off blocks(sometimes), but he is late off the ball more often than not. They have him playing A and B gap and he did look good on his snaps at B. It looks like the game hasn't slowed down for him.
Parsons took Cooks lunch money and toyed with McGovern but the whole DL played excellent. 97, 95, 99, 58, and 96 controlled the line of scrimmage. DLaw was making plays. 92 and 56 were not successful on their rush but they tackled well. 54 as pretty quiet.
Clark didn't play much at all this game. He started but did not see much time after the first series. Bell and LVE were the LB for most of the game.
